Following on from the success of the Halo Graphic Novel last year, Marvel Comics has confirmed that an ongoing series featuring Master Chief and company is on the release slate for late-2007. Speaking at the New York Comic Con on Saturday, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, Joe Quesada said that critically-acclaimed author Brian Michael Bendis would be handling the scripting duties, with Alex Maleev providing the art.
